[Intro]
A#D#D#FA#D#D#F
[Verse 1]
A#D#
From my tape deck there's a recklessness
F
Inflections of the world we want
A#D#
All my friends, my rusty truck
F
We're just specks of love, directionless
A#D#
Call this band just what we want
F
We can change the name from month to month
A#D#
Four guitars and zero drums
FED#F
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
D#F
In a world post punk
[Verse 2]
A#D#
Well my friend had an old guitar
F
He took some lessons didn't get very far
A#D#
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
F
Said, "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"
A#D#
Laura got a bass but it got no amp
F
Borrowed skills but never gave it back
A#D#
Luke is just learning how to strum
FED#
But since he was the worst, we made him play the drums
EF
Play the drums
[Chorus]
A#D#
You may find, In the palm
FD#
Of your hand, There's a flame
A#D#
As it burns, As it climes
FD#
As it turns, To a blaze
A#D#
Well this flame, It won't last
FD#
Here it comes, Hold it close
A#D#
Cause this blaze, Can be fast
FD#
Set it free now there it goes
{Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
A#D#
Luke's mom said that after school
F
We could rehearse in the living room
A#D#
But that sure didn't last too long
F
Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs
A#D#
We played these songs in the talent show
F
And all of the girls would be in the front row
A#D#
But in the end we just chickened out
FED#
Because we can't sing, We can on--ly shout
EF
On-ly shhh
[Chorus]
A#D#
You may find, In the palm
FD#
Of your hand, There's a flame
A#D#
As it burns, As it climes
FD#
As it turns, To a blaze
A#D#
Well this flame, It won't last
FD#
Here it comes, Hold it close
A#D#
Cause this blaze, Can be fast
FD#
Set it free now there it goes
